Now that you know which essential oils are best suited for mature skin, how can you implement them into your daily skincare routine? From face oils to eye cream, keep reading for some natural DIY remedies to get you started. Don’t forget, it’s important to dilute your essential oils with a carrier oil like jojoba oil for topical application, and do a patch test before use.
DIY anti-ageing natural face oil
A nourishing face oil is ideal when it comes to boosting hydration for mature skin. You can create a natural face oil simply by using a ratio of 1 tablespoon of jojoba oil to 2 drops essential oils. Store your concoction in a glass drop bottle and massage 4-5 drops gently into the face each night after cleansing.
DIY anti-ageing natural face mask
Take some time to unwind each week with an anti-ageing face mask packed with the goodness of essential oils and natural ingredients. To create your own DIY face mask, combine 1 tablespoon of raw honey with 3 tablespoons organic yoghurt and 3 drops of your chosen essential oil. After cleansing, apply the mask and leave for up to 15 minutes before washing gently with a warm face cloth.
DIY anti-ageing eye cream
Eye creams are ideal for smoothing fine lines and reducing dark circles under the eyes to leave them soft and supple. You can create a nourishing DIY eye cream using essential oils and natural ingredients. Remember, for an eye cream, you’ll want to use soothing oils to prevent irritation. Simply mix 2 tablespoons of shea butter with 1 teaspoon raw honey, then 2 drops each of Frankincense, Geranium and Lavender. Store in an airtight container in a cool dry place, and apply carefully under each eye before bed.
